e-coli fallout

What is most suspicious about this latest strain of e-coli found in Germany isn't its matrix of

antibiotics resistance.

What's truly suspect is the precision of the political and economic fallout.

Uncontrolled production of organic foods becomes suspect.

Drawing organics more tightly into the regulatory process.

The legitimacy of regulating private and homegrown food production is heightened and

becomes less subject to question.

Permaculture, and its related social movements, are marginalized.

Rendering them "radical" rather than a lifestyle that one might choose happily and without

controversy.

Those who oppose the encroachment of high tech verification and control mechanisms are

demonized.

If this strain of e-coli was accidental, why are the benefits so clear and compelling for the

global institutions of food control?

.

Add more and more controls and only large organisations can afford to comply..Small farmers or herbalists cannot..One more step towards total control.
